Who is E Vagbhata, and what are his contributions to Ayurveda? - #12588
I was reading about the ancient texts of Ayurveda and came across the name E Vagbhata. I know he is one of the classical authors of Ayurvedic texts, but I’m not entirely sure about his life and the significance of his works. Can someone explain who E Vagbhata was and why he is so important in the history of Ayurveda? From what I understand, Vagbhata wrote texts like the Ashtanga Hridayam and Ashtanga Sangraha, but I’m curious about their impact. What key concepts did he introduce that are still used in modern Ayurvedic practices? How do his teachings differ from other Ayurvedic sages, such as Charaka or Sushruta? I would love to learn more about how his texts are used today. Are they still relevant in the context of current Ayurvedic treatments? If anyone has studied E Vagbhata or his works, please share your thoughts! What have you learned from his teachings, and how have they influenced your practice or health?
